Telepolis is looking for information about image journalists in order to turn the tables: everything that can be found about the journalists mentioned in the Telepolis article, preferably the embarrassing details. As revenge for all those who have been put down by Germany's biggest tabloid because of circulation figures or power-hungry campaigns (such as, for example, the current election support that the Bild newspaper is providing for the Union in Hamburg).
The tabloid hasn't had anything to do with press or journalism for years anyway. So they can certainly get a taste of their own medicine...

Eben Moglen puts his finger on — among other things — the central wound in the nonsense that SCO is perpetrating: how can SCO derive from its disputes with IBM and other companies a right to collect licenses from Linux users?

Jutta had just the right comment on it: This is much more effective than book burning.
